Deuteronomy 6:20-25

English Standard Version

^20 (A)“When your son asks you in time to come, ‘What is the meaning of the testimonies and the statutes and the rules that the Lord our God has commanded you?’ ²¹ then you shall say to your son, ^(B)‘We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt. And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. ²² And ^(C)the Lord showed signs and wonders, great and grievous, against Egypt and against Pharaoh and all his household, before our eyes. ²³ And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in and give us the land that he swore to give to our fathers. ²⁴ And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, ^(D)to fear the Lord our God, ^(E)for our good always, that ^(F)he might preserve us alive, as we are this day. ²⁵ And ^(G)it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.’
